Electricity unit ends in science

Students have completed their electric audits. The projects are currently being graded and should be updated on Edline in the next few days. The last set of lessons on electricity reviewed the role of renewable and nonrenewable energy sources. Students explored generators and designed turbines that could be used to generate electricity.
